'Esports Scotland,' the premier Scotland-based esports and entertainment organization, announced a new partnership with 'Strive Sponsorship.' Strive Sponsorship is a sponsorship management company that will help the esports organization garner new sponsors while improving relationships with the brand's existing sponsors.
The partnership was signed in time for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, a high-profile, ten-day-long set of multi-sport events. In anticipation of this event, Esports Scotland will focus on promoting its existing sponsors in order to demonstrate its value as an esports partner. On top of this, the companies will work together to streamline the esports organization's commercial framework.
This new push toward esports marketing arrives as the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games announce that this year will be the event's first series to feature esports titles including 'Rocket League,' 'DOTA 2,' and 'Fifa' game titles.
